warning he could OPPOSE Trump-backed
candidates such as daughter-in-law Lara
and Marjorie Taylor Green in favor of
'electable' Republicans

Mitch McConnell has said he is open to opposing any 'unelectable' candidates in 2022, even if they are strongly backed by Donald Trump, as he wrestles with how to handle a deeply-divided party following Trump's impeachment hearing.McConnell voted on Saturday to acquit the former president, but then publicly attacked him, accusing him of a 'disgraceful dereliction of duty' in his most critical remarks ever uttered.His tightrope walk between defending and demonizing the former president impressed few.

Hiring somebody when he's still working for a prominent politician is, although Newsmax has made no secret of its support for Trump.It's not something a traditional news organization

MSNBC host Joy Reid claimed that Fox News reporter Kristin Fisher is “afraid of these brown people” because Fisher asked Press Secretary Jen Psaki whether the Biden administration plans to limit the number of abandoned foreign children accepted illegally into the United States at the border.U.S. border officials are currently taking in approximately 565 such children per day, and border facilities are up to 700 percent beyond capacity with children used by drug cartels as a lucrative ticket to U.S. entry. The majority of girls drug cartels traffic over the border are raped on the journey, and untold numbers of these trafficked minors die.“It’s back to
Alan Dershowitz is “consulting” the lawyers for My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell in a $1.3 billion lawsuit brought over Lindell’s 2020 election fraud claims, according to a new report.Dershowitz, who was part of former President Donald Trump’s legal team during his first impeachment trial, said he has a “limited role” in Lindell’s case, he told The Hill.“I think it is a very important First Amendment case,” Dershowitz told the publication. Last month, Dominion Voting Systems filed a defamation complaint against Lindell, who claimed the voting machine company
The Jesuit priest who officiated then-President-elect Joe Biden’s inaugural Mass — and has been a family friend for almost 15 years — is under investigation for unspecified allegations and is now on leave from his position as president of Santa Clara University in California, according to the college.The Rev. Kevin O’Brien allegedly “exhibited behaviors in adult settings, consisting primarily of conversations, which may be inconsistent with established Jesuit protocols and boundaries,” according to a statement by John Sobrato, chairman of the college’s board of trustees.Sobrato’s statement did not specify
On Wednesday, NBC News reported the Biden administration has imposed what amounts to a media blackout at the southwest border amid a worsening crisis.
Border Patrol agents, including sector chiefs and press officers, are under an unofficial gag order not to answer questions from the press, according to four current and two former Customs and Border Protection officials who spoke to NBC News on condition of anonymity.
Federal officials along the border, they say, have been verbally instructed—there is no official memo, no paper-trail—to deny all press requests for ride-alongs and refer all media inquiries

home administrator admits 16 replies
A New York nursing home administrator has reportedly admitted that he and other administrators in the state were “petrified” when Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered coronavirus patients to be funneled into their facilities last spring.In an exclusive interview with Fox News reportedly set to air Thursday, administrator Michael Kraus said that “many facilities” expressed concern and were “petrified” of what might happen but were even “more petrified of the Department of Health.” He apparently felt the same, because he only tried raising the issue once, but to no avail.“Once it was shot down, I never spoke [about it] again,” he said in the segment set to air on “America Reports” Thursday.
The Trump Swagger

At the 2012 Republican National Convention, Mitt Romney was a few minutes behind schedule to take the podium and accept the nomination for president. In the long walk from his private room through the corridor and behind the stage, the genteel Mitt kept whispering “Excuse me” as he wiggled his way through well-wishers or just bystanders. The uber-polite Mitt just wouldn’t move any faster, along with his equally polite security.And Donald Trump? At a European Union conference with all the heads of state from those countries big and small it was picture time as presidents and prime ministers jousted for the premier photo op.

Chinese diplomat Yang Jiechi rebuked U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan during a meeting in Anchorage, Alaska, on Thursday, citing the Black Lives Matter movement on U.S. human rights abuses.The summit was the first bilateral meeting between the two countries under President Joe Biden, who has traditionally been soft on Beijing, and has struggled to balance a desire to break with Trump’s tough policies with the need for a strong stance.Ahead of the meeting, the White House boasted that it had successfully insisted that the summit happen on home soil. Press Secretary Jennifer Psaki also promised earlier Thursday that the U.S. would bring up
The first woman to publicly accuse Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment claimed he once boorishly joked that he would “mount” her if he were a dog, a new report said.Lindsey Boylan, a former aide to the governor, revealed Cuomo’s creepy remark in a lengthy interview with The New Yorker‘s Ronan Farrow, telling him that Cuomo made the gross joke in 2018 after a meeting at the Governor’s mansion.Boylan, 36, who is one of seven women to lodge accusations of sexual misconduct against the governor,
On Tuesday, the father of a biological girl who believes she is a boy turned himself into a Canadian court and was subsequently taken to jail after the Attorney General of British Columbia issued an arrest warrant for contempt after the father had insisted on referring to his daughter as his “daughter” and used the pronouns “she” and “her.”Robert Hoogland, from Surrey, British Columbia, has a 14-year-old daughter. In February 2019, the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Canada ordered that the girl receive testosterone injections without obtaining parental consent. “The court also declared that if either of her parents referred to her using female pronouns
For a man who spent most of his adult life as a senator, President Biden sure doesn’t understand the Senate's rules or history.And for a man who ran on restoring and preserving America’s norms, Biden sure seems hellbent on lighting the whole place on fire.While Biden’s party launches a crusade against minority rights in the Senate, the president is trying to give the group what it wants while still sounding reasonable."I don't think that you have to eliminate the filibuster," Biden told ABC News. "You have to do what it used to be when I first got to the Senate back in the old days. You had to
America’s labor unions keep learning the hard way that a vote for a Democrat politician is often a vote for job-killing policies.Flashback to April 2019, when the 400,000-strong United Auto Workers union proudly endorsed then-Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden.“In these dangerous and difficult times, the country needs a president who will demonstrate clear, stable leadership, less partisan acrimony and more balance to the rights and protections of working Americans,” UAW president Rory Gamble said in a statement at the time.“We need folks with a steady hand, empathy and intelligence to be able to do that job.

Biden on Tuesday kicked off his “Help is Here” tour of the nation, which he thinks will be a good way of showcasing the highly partisan $1.9 trillion COVID-19 stimulus bill.
While many in the mainstream media are focused on the “roadshow,” many may not realize that Biden just spent another night at his home in Wilmington, Delaware.
Last weekend, Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, took Marine One to their Wilmington home and didn’t return to Washington until Sunday.
Former President George W. Bush said in a new interview he’s “still disturbed” by the U.S. Capitol riot. “I can’t remember what I was doing, but… I was sick to my stomach… to see our nation’s Capitol being stormed by hostile forces,” Mr. Bush told Texas Tribune CEO Evan Smith. “And it really disturbed me to the point where I did put out a statement, and I’m still disturbed when I think about it. "It undermines rule of law and the ability to express yourself in peaceful ways in the public square,” he said. “This was an expression that was not peaceful.”
